We only eat grass when we have an upset tummy. Something in it acts like syrup of ipecac. It makes us vomit, then our tummies feel better.

My dogs like eating the grass clippings after I mow the yard.

I found an interesting article that answers your question.

I love grass and green things out of Mom's garden!! It's good fiber and keeps my digestive tract nice and clean (helps me puke when I need to do that, too).

Sometimes I crave the taste of grass. You can hear me tearing out of the ground when I'm on a binge. Sometimes I barf it back up and sometimes it'll pass on through a few days later. Don't know why, but I don't think it's a bad thing. Bad habit, yes, but oh well. Whatcha gonna do??

our vet, dr. hicks, said that the idea that dogs eat it because they have an upset stomach, is a myth, that they just do it because they like the taste. it just makes some dogs puke. ;o)

We like yummy dandelions. But not the ones in the yard now. We just like the tender spring ones.
